Ocean view private cottage! 30 m to a quiet white sand beach with bare feet! [Seasons]
It is a quiet cottage along the Sotooura coast, accessible by bus from Izukyu Shimoda Station. You can enjoy the beautiful beach view from your room all day long. There are 2 bedrooms + a fully equipped kitchen & dining room + a bathroom with a bathtub, and it can accommodate 6 people. We worked with local designers and artisans to transform a former private home into a sustainable guest house. While retaining the nostalgic charm, "I want you to enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere unique to the seaside!"This is a cottage with such a feeling. Minimalist furniture and luxurious interior, ocean views from large windows, and a spacious living room with a 100-inch projector. 30 meters to the white sand shore, you can access the beach barefoot.

You can experience the atmosphere of an old fishing village everywhere.
